Day 20:
Despite waking in the night and having the nasty ****les of anxiety, I managed to quickly get back to sleep. Which is progress of sorts. In the past there have been nights when I couldn't get back to sleep.
Woke early around 6, but this is the norm for me now since starting peri menopause. Felt quite jittery and anxious just lying there in bed so got up and felt a bit better.
But all day have felt on edge, anxious, unable to take pleasure in anything really. That lovely sensation of contentment is totally missing. Really unpleasant.
But, I could function although secretly miserable. It's horrible and draining having to fake smiles and force yourself to act like you're absolutely fine.
Really praying this is just a temporary dip while my body adjusts under the Pill. I can cope with the odd day, or even couple of days feeling like this. But it's the fear that it will last a week or more.
